Rural UncleanneSS.

The Springfield Mass Republican
calls upon Boards OF Health to break
up the dense ignorance of most Of the
elementary laws of hygiene that pre-
walls in villages and rural communities,
alleging that the necessity for so doing
is again shown by the typhoid fever
epidemic at Waterford, Wis. The
Huneing family lived opposite the
Catholic parochial school. In their
yard was a well with the wooden pump
so familiar about farm-houses, and
here all the school-children were ac-
customed to drink. A son Of the
Huneings came home from Milwaukee
sick with the typhoid fever, and the
utensils used in his care were rinsed
under the family pump. On July 5.
with thermometer at 1O8 in the shade,
every child in the school drank from
the contaminated well.
The epidemic resulted, of course; and
it will hang on the longer because Fox
River is damned at Waterford, flood
ing hundreds of acres, the surface of
the water being covered with slime and
moss that tend to make the locality
generally unhealthy. This is an ex-
terme instance of widespread ignOr-
ance. Hundreds and thousand OfNew
England farm-houses show sink drains
and wells that are : lnding invita-
tion to diphtheria and typhoid fever,
and everybody in the neighborhood
takes it as matter of course. When
you get to smaller settlements than
bustling villages, except, perhaps, in
places that live off from the summer
boarder, there is absolutely no power
OF intelligent public opinion on the
subject.
An intelligent minority keep their
surroundings healthful, but if they
attempt to extend that rule outside
their own door-yards they soon learn
the propriety of minding their own
business. In such communities scarlet
fever, diphtheria and even chicken
poX" are reckoned regular children's S
diseases, q feature ofthe spring season,
and when they get into the district
schools children of the clean and I'M
clean suffer alike. The propensity OF
the squalid part of a city population
toward filth is checked by the public
authorities, and it is high time that
some rule was established over the
same class in the country, where they
form large proportion of the inhabi-
tants, and where people who are wide
enough awake on other subjects are
strangely blind on this one.
